Mrsullivan. So long as you are happy with the job done (and by the looks of things you have every reason to be) then so long as you can afford the $$ then enjoy it and don't look back.
Looks like a high quality job - you get what you pay for for this sort of thing.
Congrats and enjoy.

I try to charge about 60$/hr. I have a hand carwash and detailing shop in Montreal. I would love to detail cars personally.....It is time consuming when you're alone. I do my car and it takes an entire weekend. I think you got an amazing deal. He detailed your car like it's his car!
ENJOY

Spectacular, Jonathan. Well done, as always.
Having just made a long trip this weekend and now facing the prospect of cleaning off the bugs, though, I don't know if I could handle driving my car if I ever put that much (money, effort or both) into making it cosmetically perfect!

I ordered a kit from Autopia and detailed mine last weekend. I'll post up some pics later. Looks nice, but the Paint Guard Plus seemed a little hard to use. Got some streaks. They buffed out with a cloth, though. I used the Ultima products, which were what they reccommended.
Not nearly as nice as mrsullivan's so don't get your hopes up.

These cars are all awesome and we are lucky that we can own them...!

Inspired by Mr. Sullivan's original post, last week I dropped off my car with a pro detailer recommended to me on the RL Concours forum.
In addition to paint correction (i.e. removal of swirl marks and other imperfections) I am also having the slight wear on the driver's side bolsters repaired/redyed, and I'm having a little bit of curb rash (caused by the PO) taken care of as well.
